We are bringing the heart of the Nina studios to the gala. Celebrate the artists, get creative, and experience HERE’S NINA like never before!This year, HERE'S NINA transforms from a traditional gala into an immersive celebration of creativity, bringing the heart and spirit of the Nina Haggerty Centre to the Edmonton EXPO for an unforgettable evening.
During this extraordinary evening, guests will explore interactive artist studio spaces where Nina artists will create art live and invite you to join them. Make art alongside the artists, discover their creative processes, and experience firsthand what makes the Nina such a remarkable place.
Rather than a traditional seated dinner, enjoy a vibrant culinary experience featuring chef-inspired food stations, thoughtfully designed to encourage connection and exploration throughout the evening.
Hosted once again by the incomparable Sheri Somerville and CTV's Josh Classen, the evening brings together artists, community leaders, and supporters to celebrate creativity without barriers.
The evening centers around The Nina Awards - Edmonton's only arts awards recognizing artists with developmental disabilities. Six Nina artists will be honoured for their artistic achievement, dedication to their practice, and creative excellence. An individual or organization will also be recognized for their outstanding commitment to advancing inclusive arts in our community!
Throughout the evening, enjoy:
- Immersive Nina artist studio experiences
- Interactive art-making with Nina artists
- Chef-crafted food stations and fine beverages
- An exciting silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind artwork and experiences
- Live entertainment
- The inspiring presentation of The Nina Awards
Every ticket purchased directly supports The Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts, helping artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and thrive in a professional studio environment.
